Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

to-in-progress scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Start working on a task by setting its status to in-progress.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS (task ID)

Starting Work on Task

This command does more than just change status - it prepares your environment for productive work.

Pre-Start Checks

  1. Verify dependencies are met
  2. Check if another task is already in-progress
  3. Ensure task details are complete
  4. Validate test strategy exists

Execution

task-master set-status --id=$ARGUMENTS --status=in-progress

Environment Setup

After setting to in-progress:

  1. Create/checkout appropriate git branch
  2. Open relevant documentation
  3. Set up test watchers if applicable
  4. Display task details and acceptance criteria
  5. Show similar completed tasks for reference

Smart Suggestions

  • Estimated completion time based on complexity
  • Related files from similar tasks
  • Potential blockers to watch for
  • Recommended first steps

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
